WHEATON, IL, Jan 03, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Magenium Solutions, LLC, a Chicago-based IT services firm, today
announced it has achieved a Silver Management & Virtualization
Competency in the Microsoft Partner Network, demonstrating its
ability to meet Microsoft customers' evolving needs in today's
dynamic business environment. To earn a Microsoft silver competency,
a partner must complete a set of tests to prove their level of
technology expertise, submit customer references and demonstrate
their commitment to customer satisfaction by participating in an
annual survey.

"The Microsoft Management and Virtualization competency showcases our
expertise in Microsoft System Center, Windows Server and Hyper-V
products," said Tom Egan, VP of Services, Magenium Solutions. "Our
goal is to help our customers achieve success with a familiar,
supported, and cost-effective technology platform to help them
improve datacenter operations, deliver reliable services, and lower
costs. The Management and Virtualization competency demonstrates our
expertise in delivering next-generation automation solutions such as
private cloud, management and virtualization services that will help
our customers leverage the value from their desktop and datacenter
investments."
"By achieving a silver competency, partners have proven themselves as
specialized technology experts with the skills needed to best serve
customers," said Jon Roskill, corporate vice president, Worldwide
Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. "The silver competency in the
Microsoft Partner Network is designed to help customers identify
services and solution providers that have demonstrated proof of their
capability to deliver quality outcomes and customer satisfaction."
The Microsoft silver competency defines partners' success as
technology market leaders within a specific technology competency,
with each competency having a unique set of requirements and benefits
formulated to accurately represent the specific skills and services
that partners bring to the industry. Requirements for the silver
competency are comparable to the formerly recognized Microsoft Gold
Certified Partner criteria. All of the Microsoft technology
competencies differentiate a partner's specific technology
capabilities, helping customers find qualified solution providers
with expertise in discrete areas quickly and easily.
